Congratulations to Dr Vahid Vakiloroaya on winning the Australian Technologies Competition, ‘Australian Technology of the Year’ Award for his invention which is licensed to Independent Products' P/L. Awarded by Assistant Minister for Industry, Innovation and Science, Craig Laundy, under the category ‘Smart Cities’, Vahid’s Air Conditioning invention uses the waste-water created by air conditioners to improve energy efficiency by up to 40% and can be retrofitted to most of the world’s split system air conditioning and refrigeration units. This is a great acknowledgement of Vahid’s work and commitment and a well-deserved achievement.
